Thomas Moonlight, governor of Wyo-
ming Territory, in his annual report
states:
The territory is adapted for farming our
poses as we'll as for stock raising. The
population is So, 900. Owing to the fact
that the railroad lands are assessed this
year for the first time the taxable values
OF the present year exceed those OF last
year by over a million OF dollars. For the
ten months beginning in September
81 50. . inss y ses, 1s and aer ending of p 1Sns
land were taken up. The governor notes
the decadence OF the cattle business as
compared with former years. The hard
winters and scarcity of food are bringing
about the result OF confining the cattle
more to II locality, where they can be
sheltered and fed during the winter. The
cattle in this way becoming partially do
mesticated will increase in numbers, and
and the time is near at and when there
will be more cattle to the square mile in
Wyoming than ever before. Bituminous
coal deposits are found everywhere in the
territory. There is also an extensive de-
posit OF soda. The oil fields are very rich.

In r%efutation of the charges made since
the dismissal OF Capt. Gray, as to the
sarp ount of drunkenness in the army, q
prominent officer OF the Judge advocate
generals office says: There has been alarge
decrease yearly$inS intemperance in both

than for several years past. These good
results are attributable to the restrictions
upon settlers at army posts and to the
good work being done by temperance ad.

army than among any like number OF pro-
fesstonal men in civil life.".
